Summary
Council approved hiring SEH to conduct wetland surveys of properties in the Glenwood Addition, the Bass Brook parcel and the east blackwater side of Beier Road, authorizing expenditure up to $8,000. Council voted 3‑0 with two members absent.
The Cohasset City Council voted to approve a wetland survey for three city properties and authorized payment of up to $8,000 to complete the work.
Council discussed surveying the Glenwood Addition, the Bass Brook property and the east blackwater side of Beier Road concurrently. Staff reported a bundled quote of $7,500 to survey all three sites together versus $5,000 per property if surveyed individually; earlier figures of $7,000 and $7,500 were also mentioned during discussion. Councilor Andy Haarklau had been briefed on the proposal and raised no objections during the discussion recorded in the minutes.
Councilor Andy MacDonell moved to approve the wetland survey for city properties for up to $8,000; Councilor Shannon Benolken seconded. Voting in favor were Mayor Josh Casper, Councilor Andy MacDonell and Councilor Shannon Benolken; Councilors Andy Haarklau and Kevin Tinquist were absent. The motion carried.
The minutes do not specify funding sources for the survey or an expected completion date; the record identifies the consultant as SEH but does not include a contract number or further implementation details.
